Ab Initio/IGLO/GIAO-MP2 Studies of Fluorocarbocations: Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Cleavage Reaction of Trifluoroacetic Acid in Superacids1a
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structures of a number of fluorocarbocations were calculated at the correlated MP2/6-31G* level. 13C and 19F NMR chemical shifts of fluorocarbocations were calculated for the first time using IGLO and GIAO-MP2 methods. The data showed good correlation of calculated 19F and 13C NMR chemical shifts with the experimental chemical shifts of fluorocarbocations. The correlation for GIAO-MP2-calculated 19F NMR chemical shifts with the experimental data is excellent. Using theoretical calculations as guidance, the protolytic cleavage of trifluoroacetic acid (CF3COOH) in superacids forming CF4 was also investigated experimentally and by ab initio calculations. This reaction is suggested to involve the gitonic CF3C(OH)(OH2) dication as an intermediate.

We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for A:T,G:C,A:U in Watson-crick, and U-quartet. We have computed NMR shielding tensors at B31YP level by using 6-31G(d) basis set. We have compute anisotropy and asymmetry in A:T,G:C,A:U and U-quartet. The NMR shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method. The natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) were performed. NBO calculation have been ...
